Chris Staton was born April 10, 1960 in Memphis, TN the son of the late Roscoe and Ruby Sasser Staton.

He was united in marriage to Meredith Watters on December 21, 2018.

Chris worked for 11 years for Cummins Diesel and retired from FedEx in 2020 after 24 years. He was an ASE certified master mechanic and enjoyed working on cars, trucks and diesels. When he wasn't working for his actual job, he was the "neighborhood" mechanic.

With such a strong work ethic, Chris was trying to learn how to relax and slow down. His most recent relaxation project was the purchase of a log cabin homestead in Savannah and was in the last stages of moving it to Ramer. He also enjoyed fishing, nature, and spending time with his animals.

Chris will be remembered as a man of strong faith who was devoted to his family and great sense of humor always filled a room with laughter.

Mr. Staton departed this life on September 7, 2021 in Corinth, Mississippi at the age of 61 Years, 4 Months, 28 Days. He is survived by his wife, Meredith Staton of Ramer, TN; two daughters, Charity Staton, Darby Roach and husband Andy; four sons, Zachery Staton, Spencer Staton and wife Samantha, Ethan and Tucker Staton; two sisters, Becky Staton of Charleston, NC, Sirena Warldow and husband Gordon of Victoria, MS; a brother, Tim Staton and wife Cindy of Greeneville, TN; stepson, Forest Webb and wife Nikistea; stepdaughter, Scarlett Ross and fiancé Tommy Pouncey; two grandchildren, Alexandria and Isaiah; and a host of nieces, nephews and extended family.
